COACH OF THE YEAR

Anna McQuade,
Aurora Christian

Guided Eagles to the 1A title in a riveting finish, as Aurora Christian scored 49 points to clip Tremont (45) and Sullivan (44) for the crown.

A former ACS athlete who was part of the school’s 2006 state runner-up, McQuade coached the Eagles to a third-place finish in 2013, her debut season. Her hands-on style helped top athletes, such as Brown and the Maryland-bound Wade, feel more comfortable.
